- AdmiralAsshat 3y agoThe Windows terminal now has a quake-style dropdown mode by default.
- bee_rider 3y agoI wish I could find a use for that, it is a funny idea. Unfortunately in a world where all of you stuff is in terminals, having one special drop down one is less useful.
- Shared404 3y agoI use Yakuake (KDE's equivalent) for my password manager at work. I find most DE's painful without that ability. The main exceptions are i3/sway or cwm, where I just launvh a terminal and then kill it.
- bee_rider 3y agoI think that must be it, I use i3, so popping open a shell is always an easy option.
- cyberax 3y agoI use iTerm2 that pops up F12, it's surprisingly close to that drop console behavior.
- bombcar 3y agoNever use sudo again! make the drop down be always at your root shell.

- semi 3y agoI hadn't set this back up after getting a new laptop, but it's great for any of the one-off things you might need to do like confirm that some webserver is down like someone on chat complained it was, or lookup an ip or dns entry. So the real benefit IMO is that it then lets you keep your actual terminals more clean and focused, and not just interleave that kind of stuff with whatever you are doing.
